Section II: Principle of the Vacuum Atmosphere Furnace

　　
In the early 1980s, during the development of the oxygen-nitrogen co-diffusion technology for high-speed steel tools, low-vacuum principles were employed to manufacture equipment and test the accompanying processes (i.e., low-pressure oxygen-nitrogen co-diffusion technology). The workpieces are automatically cycled heated within the specified low-vacuum upper and lower limits. The furnace gas is continuously refreshed within the set time cycle, resolving challenges such as dense production, furnace gas aging, and uniformity of the diffusion layers during the nitriding and carburizing processes. By appropriately increasing the furnace pressure, the diffusion rate of nitrogen and carbon atoms can be enhanced [2-4], and a process of positive pressure variation is added on the basis of low-vacuum pressure variation. This process, which involves first applying pressure variation heating in the low-vacuum range followed by positive pressure variation heating, and the associated equipment, is known as low-vacuum pressure variation heat treatment technology. The furnace undergoes a wide range of pressure variation heating from low vacuum to positive pressure, quickly replacing the air, moisture, and other oxidizing substances in the furnace with neutral gas, and then filling it with the specified diffusion agent. This allows the workpieces to be heated in the set atmosphere. After heating, if cooled within the furnace, it achieves oxidation-free and decarburization-free quenching. If cooled outside the furnace, the workpiece, upon removal, contacts the air, causing minimal oxidation to achieve a low-oxidation heating process.
　　
Above is the answer to the question, "What are the characteristics of a vacuum atmosphere furnace?" From the above introduction, we can see that the characteristics of a vacuum atmosphere furnace include good thermal insulation performance, high tensile strength, the ability to introduce multiple protective gases, no need for专人 to be on duty, a variety of temperatures, and resistance to corrosion and acids and alkalis. Its principle involves first heating under a low vacuum range with pressure variation, followed by a process of heating under positive pressure with pressure variation. The vacuum atmosphere furnaces produced by Luoyang Xingding Kiln Co., Ltd. are of excellent craftsmanship and equipment.
